Ambassador Ouyang conveyed his appreciation and extended New Year greetings to the frontline Chinese employees, reiterating the importance of construction safety and employee welfare. In light of the upcoming Chinese New Year, CECCM calls on all Chinese enterprises to uphold the highest safety standards, ensuring both quality and efficiency in project execution while fostering stronger bilateral cooperation between China and Malaysia.
Support for Flood Relief and Strengthening Local Engagement
During this visit, the Embassy of the People’s Republic of China in Malaysia extended its support to flood-affected communities on the East Coast by distributing humanitarian aid. In response, CECCM is calling on Chinese enterprises to contribute to relief efforts and assist in rebuilding the affected areas.
On the evenings of January 13 and 14, CECCM participated in community dinners in Terengganu and Kelantan, engaging in discussions with the local Chinese business community on investment development and market expansion. CECCM also shared insights into China’s development experience. Both sides expressed their commitment to strengthening collaboration and driving sustained economic growth in the region.
